“Caught In Doors” by The Golden Age of TV - A Song Feature


      It’s as though The Golden Age of TV held an “ideation meeting” in which the members individually lobbied for their personal favorite frenetic compositions, then compromised when someone suggested playing them simultaneously. Ingeniously, it worked! “Caught In Doors” is formidable during its fast-paced navigation through a song with intriguing eccentricities.

     “Caught In Doors” is a texture wonderland, as the vocals of Bea Fletcher often reside in a layer separated from those of the other instruments, while the bass and dual lead guitars are allowed to function seemingly independently in terms of riffs, tonality and even melody. The percussion dictates the rhythm, but with attention-grabbing fills and flurries.

     Lyrically, “Caught In Doors” is about being trapped in an unwelcome situation and how it can lead to frustration if left unattended. Bea Fletcher explains:
  “‘Caught In Doors’ is the feeling of being stuck in one place, struggling to move. Financially, socially, in a career - whatever it is; it's about the need to switch up your routine or change your image. In the chorus, ‘seeing my hair.., collecting in piles’ metaphors that build up of an itch for change.”

     The Golden Age of TV are Bea Fletcher (vocals), Ciaran Scanlon (bass), Sam Carty (guitar, keys), Ryan Bird (guitar), and Joshua Ketch (drums). They are a UK band based in Leeds. “Caught In Doors” is a single from their upcoming self-titled EP.
